Is That a Luxury Liner? Is it a Sleek Swan? No, it’s a Skip…

One of the things to be produced from Australia’s flash flooding was this video of a skip floating down the road in Melbourne. Silently gliding down the lane without dropping any rubbish on its way, this skip disappeared in to the sunset. It might still be bobbing about on the ocean wave. In which case, we’ll expect it be washed up on the Cornish coastline sometime in June 2012.

Remains of Mona Lisa model ‘end up in rubbish dump’

Every now and then, you find something special in a skip or rubbish dump.

But it’s not often that the remains of a world-famous artist icon are among the findings.

Lisa Gherardini, who is reckoned to be the Mona Lisa model painted by Leonardo da Vinci, was originally buried in a crypt upon her death in 1542.

Unfortunately, her contents were destroyed by building works for a landfill site in the 1980s.

The woman with the inscrutable smile is no more.

Perhaps she’ll be re-incarnated as a skip.

Rubbish Skips – Where Does All the Waste Go To?

Rubbish skips have come a long way…

Back in the day, most waste was chucked in the skip and sent straight to landfill. Easy…but not environmentally sound. With landfills near to bursting point, there was a need to do something else with the waste. That’s why most waste that now gets thrown in to skips gets recycled. All waste gets separated – metal, glass, rubble, paper and green waste can all be recycled. Some waste, like food waste and certain plastics are sent to landfill – but this accounts for a small percentage of overall waste.

So next time you hire a skip, make sure you book with a company who can boast high recycling wastes – think green!

Budget Skip Hire – The Pros and Cons

Looking for budget skip hire? Before you go searching for the cheapest price, you’ll need to consider that cheapest might not equal the best.

Skip hire involves a number of processes – haulage, service, recycling rates and hire lengths. If any of these are compromised, it can easily create problems. Cheap skip hire can often result in bad service. If you’re going to hire a skip, ring around and go with the company who sound professional, ask questions about your particular situation and have all the right certification.

It will be well worth your while spending a few more pounds knowing that your job is in safe hands.
